Bureau of Prohibition

The Bureau of Prohibition was a law enforcement agency that existed in the United States from 1920 to 1933, being created from the Treasury Department and being absorbed into the FBI after the repeal of Prohibition. The bureau attempted to halt the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol in the country, but many agents were viewed as easily corrupted, being turned on some bootleggers by other bootleggers in exchange for a bribe (money, women, and/or alcohol) or fame.
